Definitions

  • the invention relates to a manual-assembly folding box for displaying and/or packaging an article.
  • the folding box comprises a rear wall, on which in each case one side wall is articulated laterally, a base flap is articulated at the bottom and a rear flap is articulated at the top.
  • a collar is articulated via the rear flap, this collar being located perpendicularly to the rear wall and having a cutout, in which the article which is to be packaged can be positioned.
  • the side walls are positioned such that they can fix the article.
  • two folding parts are articulated on the side walls via a scoring formation such that the fold parts are positioned one above the other, with or without adhesive bonding.
  • the base flap is located perpendicularly to the rear wall and has two insertion noses, which are each connected to the inside of the side walls.
  • a further known possibility is for the articles to be fully contained in boxes or cartons, which has the advantage that the articles are protected against dust.
  • a more modern trend is for the article to be provided with blister packing, that is to say for the article to be displayed beneath transparent, more or less strong plastic packaging which is closed on the rear side, in particular, by a wall made of paperboard or cardboard.
  • this packaging may be aesthetically pleasing, it has the disadvantage of being complex and expensive two-material packaging which, for ecological reasons, should be disposed of in separate parts once it has been torn open.
  • Straightforward blister cards are already in common use. They comprise a single wall, for example made of paperboard or cardboard, on which the product which is to be sold is fastened in various ways.
  • the dimensions of the blister card are generally larger than those of the product, with the result that there is a certain surface area available on the blister card for informing the potential customer about the product or for easily drawing attention to the product by eye-catching printing.
  • the amount of space which is present on the blister card, both on the front wall and on the rear wall of the blister card, is insufficient for accommodating all the information which could be printed thereon.
  • DE 296 06 678 U discloses a blister card which is made up of two walls, preferably made of cardboard or paperboard, specifically a first, front wall, and a second, rear wall, the latter being articulated on the front wall via a folding line and preferably having the same dimensions.
  • a device for accommodating a product is provided at least on the front wall.
  • This accommodating device is advantageously a non-continuous cage which is open on one side, is preferably made of paperboard and has the open side adhesively bonded to the front wall.
  • At least one spot of adhesive with lightly self-adhesive and pressure-sensitive properties is provided on the front wall or on the rear wall, to be precise preferably on the edge located opposite the folding line which connects the front wall and the rear wall, it being possible for said adhesive to be detached again, without leaving any residues, from the opposite wall and adhesively bonded to the latter again.
  • This spot or these spots of adhesive allows/allow the swing-open blister card to be repeatedly opened and firmly closed.
  • a further disadvantage of known blister packs is that they must not be used for packaging aerosol containers as are often used, for example, in cosmetics or for wound treatment.
  • the invention relates to a folding box for displaying or packaging an article, the folding box comprising a rear wall, on which in each case one side wall is articulated laterally, a base flap is articulated at the bottom and a rear flap is articulated at the top.
  • the rear flap is adhesively bonded to the inside of the rear wall and connected to a collar via a folding line, this collar being located perpendicularly to the rear wall and having a cutout, in which the article to be packaged can be positioned.
  • the side walls are positioned on the vertical collar such that they additionally fix the article.
  • folding parts are articulated on the side walls via an arcuate scoring formation such that the fold parts, positioned one above the other, are fixed by the product or adhesively bonded.
  • the base flap is located perpendicularly to the rear wall and has two insertion noses, which are each connected to the inside of the side wall.
  • the folding box according to the invention is suitable for the manual packaging of everyday articles such as those used in the office, cosmetics or wound-treatment means.
  • aerosol containers in the form of canisters or bottles can be reliably handled using the present folding box.
  • the vertically articulated base flap even ensures extremely good stability on a shelf.
  • the base prevents the article from simply slipping out of the packaging.
  • the folding-box blank may be supplied in a state in which it has already been adhesively bonded at the factory.
  • the rear flap is adhesively bonded to the rear wall and the collar is folded upward.
  • the rear flap is adhesively bonded to the rear wall and the collar is folded upward.
  • the folding parts are positioned and adhesively bonded one above the other.
  • the left-hand side wall of the folding box is inflected via the folding line and the right-hand side wall is then folded forward via the folding line, the collar being located perpendicularly to the rear wall.
  • the product is then introduced from beneath through the cutout in the collar.
  • the base flap is swung up and the insertion noses are connected, preferably adhesively bonded, to the inside of the side walls.
  • the swung-over side walls fix the product from the side, the base gives the product stability, and the collar avoids the situation where the product falls over, with the result that the product is provided with all-round wrapping without being completely concealed.
  • the folding box according to the invention has a basic structure and acts like a stable folding box without being closed. Furthermore, the side walls, the folding parts or, if appropriate, the rear wall give a large amount of design-related surface area. It is particularly important, however, for the product itself, or at least the central part of the front side of the product, to be completely visible and for unsightly text which has to be included to remain concealed on the rear side of the product.
  • the fold parts, the base flap and the collar cutout are shaped in accordance with the product which is to be packaged.
  • the folding parts are preferably shaped in the same way and the article is embedded on the folding parts.
  • the scoring formation may be shaped in an arcuate or rectilinear manner in order to provide the folding parts with an abutment shape which is adapted to the article.
  • an arcuate scoring formation provides a uniformly pleasing configuration of the abutment surface.
  • at least one of the folding parts has a cutout which is adapted to the shape of the article and is intended for accommodating the article in a form-fitting manner.
  • the cutout in the collar in accordance with the shape of the article which is to be packaged, may be round, polygonal or oval or adapted precisely to the outlines of the article.
  • the width of the side walls is preferably selected such that they surround the article laterally with the edge. Depending on the width and product diameter, the side walls are positioned at an angle of less than 90° in relation to the rear wall. It is thus possible, depending on the shape or nature of the product or the printing, for the product to be fixed centrally or in the bottom or top regions.
  • Forming the side-wall edges with round, rectilinear or any desired contours allows adaptation to any desired article shapes.
  • the shape of the base flap prefferably corresponds to the same.
  • the product can be hung on a sales hook using the hanging means.
  • a hanging device of this type or just one cutout is thus provided in the rear flap and/or the folding parts.
  • the term “article” which is used here must not be so narrow as to make it necessary for the article to comprise a single part. Rather, the article or the item may be constructed from a plurality of individual components. It is also possible for two or more products to be arranged simultaneously within one wrapper, these products then forming an article made up of a plurality of individual bodies.
  • a further collar with a corresponding cutout is articulated in a mirror-inverted manner on the collar, the two being adhesively bonded to one another.
  • a flap is also advantageously articulated on the further collar and is adhesively bonded to the inside of the rear wall.
  • the side walls have notches, in which the vertical collar engages. It is thus the case that the collar and the side walls are not just positioned one on the other, but engage in a form-fitting manner one inside the other via the notch, which also results in the product being stabilized.
  • the position of the collar is also critical for fastening the product.
  • the collar may be arranged, for example, in the center in order that the center of gravity of the product is aligned with the means of hanging it on the sales hook.
  • the position of the collar is determined via the length of the rear flap.
  • a centrally arranged collar means that the rear flap is half the length of the rear wall.
  • the length of the rear flap is thus in the range from 0.9 to 0.1, preferably 0.33 to 0.5, of the length of the rear wall.
  • the product is, for example, an elongate one which, in addition, requires more support in the top region, then the length of the rear flap is relatively short, with the result that the collar engages around the product in the top region.
  • a further preferred embodiment has, at least on one of the side walls, and preferably on both side walls, side parts which, swung inward, are adhesively bonded to the side wall so as to produce slots between the side wall and the side parts, in which the insertion noses of the base flap can engage and thus ensure the interconnection with the side wall or walls. Adhesive bonding of the base is thus not necessary and it is possible for the customer to remove the product easily without destroying the folding box. The customer releases the insertion noses from the slots, swings the base over and can thus remove the product from the collar in the downward direction and, if appropriate, repackage it securely in the reverse order.
  • the folding box thus has a large number of advantages.
  • the packaging accommodates at least one article.
  • a further advantage can be seen in that the article can be displayed to very good effect in the folding box, but is reliably protected by the collar, the side walls and the base.
  • a further advantage of this packaging is that the individual article, for example a cosmetics bottle or wound spray, can be effectively advertised as a give-away product.
  • This type of packaging achieves a cost-effective and nevertheless eye-catching display which is highly effective in getting the standard product recognized.
  • Front sides and the rear side of the folding box provide outstanding design possibilities.
  • the folding box furthermore, is environmentally friendly and is produced from a single folding blank.
  • FIG. 1 shows a punched blank of the folding box according to the invention
